About
Falafel Yoni is a falafel restaurant on Rue Saint-Viateur Ouest, in the Plateau-Mont-Royal area of Montreal. It is open seven days a week, which makes it an easy stop whatever day you are in the neighbourhood.
The menu centres on three things: falafel, chicken schnitzel and sabich. Each can be ordered as a pita, a plate or a salad, so you can choose something filling and casual or a lighter bowl of greens. The sides are simple and suit the rest of the menu well. Fries are on offer, along with za'atar fries and a chocolate-tahini ball for something sweet to finish.
More than a meal
The shop also sells groceries to take home. Among them are hummus, zhug, amba and harissa, which are useful if you want to bring a little of the flavour back with you and try it at your own table.
If you are not planning to visit the Saint-Viateur location, Falafel Yoni also has a second restaurant in Verdun and a summer location on Atwater. The company's website at falafelyoni.com lists the current details for each.
Planning your visit
Falafel Yoni suits a relaxed lunch, a quick dinner, or a takeaway you can carry to a nearby park. Ordering a pita is the simplest way to try the falafel and schnitzel, while a plate gives you more room to sample the sides.
